Okay, I've done a comparison of the three methods on a 1 Gb file:

IO.lines
  real 2m11.827s
  user 2m10.036s
  sys 0m1.468s

IO.split
  real 1m51.504s
  user 1m51.136s
  sys 0m0.352s

IO.slurp-rest
  real 2m9.821s
  user 2m6.268s
  sys 0m3.532s

and Perl 5:

  real 0m4.614s
  user 0m4.328s
  sys 0m0.280s

Best,
